Sponsored by The Americas Council and the Office of International Education for the University System of Georgia

The Americas Council provides an annual conference for presenters and participants to explore critical socio-cultural, political, economic, global, regional and national issues including the challenges and opportunities facing Latin America, the Caribbean and Canada. Proposals for individual papers and panels on specific topics are now being requested

While the focus of this conference is primarily for collegiate faculty, we also encourage secondary school faculty along with graduate and undergraduate students to participate. We expect the conference will include at least two graduate and two undergraduate panels.

Migration/Gender/ Indigenous Populations

Social Transformation: Regional/Global Issues

Education, Health and Technology
